Your new company
Well established and a leader in their specialist field, this brand has a long track record of innovation and success, which provides a strong foundation for the international growth that they are now enjoying.
Your new role

What you'll need to succeed
You may already be proven at Production Manager level, or be a successful Production Shift Manager who is looking for a chance to progress. Either way, your CV will demonstrate relevant responsibilities and achievements.

Strong candidates are encouraged to apply from any manufacturing sector. Experience in manufacturing chemicals or liquids is an advantage, or any similar industry (eg Food & Drink / Pharmaceutical manufacturing) where ingredients are combined, and H&S and Quality Control are maintained at the highest standards. You will be a confident communicator, able to use reports and data to support your ideas and proposals.
What you'll get in return
Competitive salary circa £45k plus benefits, and an opportunity to join a stable and fast-growing business during an exciting time in their development.
